Sweet Land of Rest
There's a land where joy is waiting
far beyond all space and time
there where earthly cares are fading
out of site and out of mind
there will be no separation,
no more pain, no sad goodbyes
one day all it's matchless beauty
will unfold before my eyes
Sweet land of rest, land of promise
one day your gates will open wide
Sweet land of rest I long to see you
when this road ends I'll step inside
Jesus said He would prepare it
by His perfect master plan
Saints of every age will share it,
sights not seen by mortal man
He'll return. we have his promise
he will take us there one day
never more to leave His presence
there where death has passed away
Sweet land of rest, land of promise
one day your gates will open wide
Sweet land of rest I long to see you
when this road ends I'll step inside
Sweet land of rest I long to see you
when this road ends I'll step inside
far beyond all space and time
there where earthly cares are fading
out of site and out of mind
there will be no separation,
no more pain, no sad goodbyes
one day all it's matchless beauty
will unfold before my eyes
Sweet land of rest, land of promise
one day your gates will open wide
Sweet land of rest I long to see you
when this road ends I'll step inside
Jesus said He would prepare it
by His perfect master plan
Saints of every age will share it,
sights not seen by mortal man
He'll return. we have his promise
he will take us there one day
never more to leave His presence
there where death has passed away
Sweet land of rest, land of promise
one day your gates will open wide
Sweet land of rest I long to see you
when this road ends I'll step inside
Sweet land of rest I long to see you
when this road ends I'll step inside
